When MSNBC’s Katy Tur asked, “Do you think that they have something on the president?” Nunberg responded: “I think they may. I think that he may have done something during the election, but I don’t know that for sure.”

In an interview airing later on CNN, Nunberg elaborated cryptically: “The way they asked about his business dealings, the way they asked if you had heard anything even while I was fired, it just made me think that they suspected something about him.”

Ultimately, Nunberg told CNN that Trump “may very well have done something during the election with the Russians.”
